the second person singular; as, "Hubert, you are sad" art sad.

4. The imperative mode has usually only the second person; as, Go, thou." In some languages, the imperative has also a form for the first person plural, and third person singular and plural. A few examples seem to occur in English; as, "Rise, thy sons.' "Be it decreed." Most of these cases, however, can be explained by supplying an ellipsis; as, "Let thy sons rise." "Let it be decreed."

117. Conjugation.

1. The conjugation of a verb is the regular arrangement of its several modes, tenses, voices, numbers, and persons.

2. The only tenses which change their termination are the present and past; as, sit, sittest, sits; sat, sattest, tarry, tarriest, tarries; tarried, tarriedst. All other changes are made by means of auxiliaries.

3. In adding s or es, observe the same rules as in the formation of the plural of nouns; as, play, plays; fly, flies; go, goes. So, also, observe the rules (25) for the changes of the radical verb; as, drop, dropped (Rule I.); reply, replied (Rule III.).

4. The principal parts of a verb are the present indicative, the past indicative, and the past participle.

1. Give the principal parts of the following verbs :

Sail, smile, see, shut, close, open, burn, glaze, gild, turn, try, reform, renew, take, leave, make, build, hope, fold, alter, correct.

3. In the following examples explain the VERBS in the same manner :— We read of that philosophy, which can smile over the destruction of property, of that religion, which enables its possessor to extend the benign look of forgiveness and complacency to his murderers; but it is not in the soul of man to bear the lacerations of slander.

"Lord, and what shall this man do?"

Ask'st thou, Christian, for thy friend?

If his love for Christ be true,

Christ hath told thee of his end;-
This is he whom God approves,

This is he whom Jesus loves.-Keble.

And the raven never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor,
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor,
Shall be lifted-nevermore !-E. A. Poe.
